The meeting draws on for a little longer and we decide that we are all going to let Sparkles teleport us to the concert. After what feels like forever, it's finally time for the concert and we all get ready to leave. We stand together holding on to each other to connect ourselves to Sparkles and we materialize in front of a huge black dome. I take a look around and say, "Are you sure you got it right?" I snort but then immediately feel weak and pass out.

The sound of a girl's laugh echoes in my mind followed by a scream and then I open my eyes to the sight of two girls standing in a room I've never seen before.

"You don't have to go back," a girl I don't recognize says. "You always knew I was leaving," another girl says turning around and I see it's Kagami. "I just thought that when the time came," the girl pauses, "You would choose me" she finishes, tears streaming down her face. Kagami doesn't say anything. She just stares at the girl sadly. The girl wipes her eyes and says, "Your family doesn't even need you. You've been gone this long so stay here" she finishes coldly. Anger flashes in Kagami's eyes as she says, "Don't ever talk about my family" and she uses her magic to push the girl back and she hits her head on a shelf. The girl falls hard to the ground and Kagami runs to her side. "Salem!" Kagami screams, "Salem! Wake up!" she continues screaming and shaking her but the girl doesn't respond.

The memory stops and I open my eyes to the entire Princess Alliance standing above me. I shriek and jump up. "Are you okay Wildcat?" Scorpia asks looking at me with concern. "Yeah, I'm fine" I grumble, my tail swinging wildly behind me. "Let's just go in," I say.

We make our way over to a huge black gate that is being heavily guarded. The guards look at us before one of them demands, "State your business in Jonetsu". "We're here for the concert" Sparkles speaks up trying to sound as scary as the guard. The guard waves his hand and a ray of light washes over us. Nothing happens so the guards' motion to open the huge gate to let us in. We all walk inside of the gate and I stop totally surprised by the sight before me. The kingdom is huge and full of people walking and lounging about. There are huge colorful buildings everywhere and lots of pretty trees. They also have these things on wheels that I think look a lot like tanks but they're all different colors and sizes. "Woah," I say out loud and Scorpia places a hand on my shoulder. "I know right!" she gushes, "The first time we came, I almost got hit by a car" Scorpia finishes with a laugh pointing at the things that I thought were just really weird tanks. We continue walking around the kingdom eventually making our way to a huge round building with Kagami's picture plastered on the front. There's a long line of people waiting to get in and we take our place near the end of the line. "We're so getting here early next time," I think to myself as we wait in line and the other princesses chat among themselves. After a little while, we reach the front of the line and we're stopped by more guards standing in front of a gate and booth.

"Welcome to the Kingdom of Jonetsu!" the guard says, definitely much nicer than the one we met before. "We hope that you enjoy the show and as always, magic and weapons are strictly forbidden in the great arena! Please hand over any weapons you may have" the guard says to all of us as Sparkles, Arrow Boy, and Adora hesitantly hand over each of their weapons. "Be careful with it!" Adora shouts as the guards usher us into the building. Scorpia and Perfuma are leading the group now and we're walking up a flight of stairs and in through a door. Once we get through the door, I can see a huge stage and lots of seats. All of the seats on the ground level are already filled and most of the seats on the balcony are already filled too. Perfuma and Scorpia find a space large enough for all of us to sit together and somehow I end up sitting next to Adora. She nervously glances over at me and says, "I can switch if you want" as she looks away. "Don't be so dramatic," I snap rolling my eyes, "It's just a seat" I finish. Suddenly, the lights go down in the arena and the crowd immediately erupts in applause. "I guess it's starting" I hear Adora mumble.
